Features: This book can be used by you at home. If you wish, you can also use it as part of the psychological therapy process, but not everyone needs psychological therapy after experiencing creative events. If you are receiving psychological therapy and want your therapist to support your use of this book, please provide your therapist with the "Letter to Mental Health Professionals," which is included in Appendix B at the end of this book. This book includes a wealth of information about common reactions to traumatic events. Readers will find that many of their difficulties are explained in this book, and they will be comforted by the fact that others also feel and have experienced pain and confusion, making them realize they are not alone in this. Adapting to pain represents a heroic struggle for survival and success, and in this understanding, they will find hope. The core of this book is to examine five basic psychological needs: safety, trust, control, respect, and intimacy.
